## 🎯 Problem
Cross-border remittances — especially to Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia — are broken:
- **High fees**: Western Union, MoneyGram charge 5–10% per transfer
- **Slow settlement**: 2–5 business days via SWIFT
- **Complexity**: Users must navigate currency pairs, routing, and exchange rates manually
- **No automation**: Every recurring payment must be initiated manually
## 💡 Solution
**PulseRemit** is an AI-powered remittance agent built on **Celo** that understands natural language and automates the entire transfer flow — from intent parsing to on-chain execution via **Mento Protocol** stablecoin swaps.
> *"Send $50 to my mom in Nigeria every Friday"* → PulseRemit handles routing, swaps, signing, and settlement automatically.
